Morgenstern Trio

Two women numbered among the first rank of French composers in the early 1900s. Tailleferre’s trio deftly juxtaposes Ravel-like opulence to the urbane boulevardier-chic of the group of composers called “Les Six,” of which Tailleferre was the only woman member (along with Poulenc and Honnegger). Lili Boulanger’s trio is an arrangement of perhaps her most beautiful orchestral work. Brahms and Fauré were both composers Isabella Gardner met personally. She collected two remarkable relics from them: a musical manuscript of Fauré’s and a cigarette hand-rolled by Brahms!
